SECTION 1

SAFETY/HANDLING OF WHEELCHAIRS

“Safety and Handling” of the wheelchair requires the close attention of the wheelchair user

as well as the assistantꢀ This manual points out the most common procedures and tech-

niques involved in the safe operation and maintenance of the wheelchairꢀ It is important to

practice and master these safe techniques until you are comfortable in maneuvering around

the frequently encountered architectural barriersꢀ

Use this information only as a “basic” guideꢀ The techniques that are discussed on the

following pages have been used successfully by many usersꢀ

Individual wheelchair users often develop skills to deal with daily living activities that may

differ from those described in this manualꢀ Invacare recognizes and encourages each indi-

vidual to try what works best for him/her in overcoming architectural obstacles that they

may encounter, however ALL WARNINGS and CAUTIONS given in this manual MUST be

followedꢀ Techniques in this manual are a starting point for the new wheelchair user and

assistant with “safety” as the most important consideration for allꢀ

STABILITY AND BALANCE

WARNING

ALWAYS wear your seat/chest positioning strap" Inasmuch as the SEAT/

CHEST POSITIONING STRAP is an option on this wheelchair (You may

order with or without the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap), Invacare strongly

recommends ordering the Seat/Chest Positioning Strap as an additional

safeguard for the wheelchair user"

To assure stability and proper operation of your wheelchair, you must at all times maintain

proper balanceꢀ Your wheelchair has been designed to remain upright and stable during

normal daily activities as long as you do not move beyond the center of gravityꢀ

Virtually all activities which involve movement in the wheelchair have an effect on the center

of gravityꢀ Invacare recommends using seat/chest positioning straps for additional safety while

involved in activities that shift your weightꢀ

DO NOT lean forward out of the wheelchair any further than the length of the armrestsꢀ

Make sure the casters are pointing in the forward position whenever you lean forwardꢀ This

can be achieved by advancing the wheelchair and then reversing it in a straight lineꢀ

COPING WITH EVERYDAY OBSTACLES

Coping with the irritation of everyday obstacles can be alleviated somewhat by learning how to

manage your wheelchairꢀ Keep in mind your center of gravity to maintain stability and balanceꢀ

A NOTE TO WHEELCHAIR ASSISTANTS

When assistance to the wheelchair user is required, remember to use good body mechanicsꢀ

Keep your back straight and bend your knees whenever tipping the wheelchair or traversing

curbs, or other impedimentsꢀ

parts" Lifting by means of any removable (detachable) parts of a wheelchair

may result in injury to the user or damage to the wheelchair"

Always verify that hand grips on the rear cane are secure PRIOR to use when an

assistant is used to propel or lift the chair" Check for any signs of looseness or

deterioration and if found, contact a qualified technician" DO NOT attempt to

move the wheelchair by pulling on the hand grips if they are found to be unsecure

or have deteriorated"

Also, be aware of detachable parts such as armrests or legrestsꢀ These must NEVER be used

to move the wheelchair or as lifting supports, as they may be inadvertently released, result-

ing in possible injury to the user and/or assistant(s)ꢀ

When learning a new assistance technique, have an experienced assistant help you before

attempting it aloneꢀ

PERCENTAGE OF WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

WARNING

DO NOT attempt to reach objects if you have to move forward in the seat

or pick them up from the floor by reaching down between your knees"

The seat depth, size/position of the front casters, size/position of the rear

wheels, use of an anti-tipper model, as well as the user condition directly

relate to the stability of the wheelchair" Any change to one (1) or any com-

bination of the seven (7) may cause the wheelchair to decrease in stability"

These adjustments MUST be performed by a qualified technician"

Many activities require the wheelchair

owner to reach, bend and transfer in and

CENTER OF

out of the wheelchairꢀ These movements will

cause a change to the normal balance, the

center of gravity, and the weight distribution

in several combinations in the presence of a

qualified healthcare professional BEFORE
